Description
Specifications
Although the analysis of geological structures is becoming increasingly quantitative, traditional graphical methods are still commonly used in teaching and university textbooks. This innovative laboratory manual provides a unified methodology for solving problems in structural geology using linear algebra and numerical calculations. Assuming only a limited knowledge of mathematics, the book starts with the basics, introducing the essential mathematical background and demonstrating how geometry and kinematics are applied in the Earth sciences, without requiring students to take an additional mathematics course.
Starting with classic, easily understood orientation problems, the authors move on to more fundamental topics in stress, strain and error propagation. They introduce linear algebra methods as the foundation for understanding vectors and tensors. They emphasize the links between these topics and material students have already learned, helping them develop an intuitive understanding of the underlying mathematics before encountering more advanced concepts. All the algorithms are presented in full through a comprehensive online collection of Matlab® functions. These build on and incorporate earlier functions, and allow users to modify the code to solve their own structural geology problems.
With 20 detailed examples and more than 60 exercises, this manual is an ideal laboratory guide for senior undergraduate students and those beginning graduate studies. It is also a valuable reference for professional structural geologists, offering a fresh perspective on calculations.
